About This Site

Welcome to Pixel Play Girls!

This is a fansite for games that have been sold to girls over time, with pink packaging, often a franchise slapped on, and vastly varying amounts of care.

Many of these games are cynical shovelware, and some are hilariously bad to play. But there are a few hidden gems made with real love and attention to gameplay, even in otherwise terrible series like the Imagine games. But these games rarely got journalistic coverage, because fo the assumption they were trash.

Games aren't bad just because they are for girls. But I do think the industry has sometimes been very guilty of putting less effort into "pink games", assuming a doll on the cover will be enough to sell them.So this is a partly mocking, partly loving, and partly critical fansite for the games of my youth... and further. I was a C64 little girl, after all.

I hope you have fun here, a few laughs, maybe some nostalgia... and maybe find some games you want to give a go yourself.
